Security Alert: Heroes of Newerth Hacked

The red security light is flashing over Heroes of Newerth. Developer S2 Games reported last night that its free-to-play MOBA was hit by hackers and suffered a password security breach. You know the drill: form a single file line, remain calm and alert, and change any passwords shared with your HoN account.

At this point, the question isn't what gaming sites have been hacked, but which ones haven't. It's a list growing shorter by the day, and it's time to cross HoN off of it.

Posting on the official Heroes of Newerth forums, S2 games announced that the breach occurred at roughly 2:30 pm yesterday. No other details were provided other than it being described as a "password security breach." The game is currently offline as the devs work to plug the holes.

In the meantime, don't respond to any suspicious HoN-related emails, and make sure your shared passwords are changed.
